TimmyBoom: How're the new peripherals working out?
SaintLukas: horrible
TimmyBoom: I should think so. The trackball looks wretched.
SaintLukas: it is
SaintLukas: i need a better pic, but its wretched
TimmyBoom: Does it help if I tell you the logitech one we have here is great?
SaintLukas: and i cant reassign the buttons, because the M$ software that required 2 reboots to install CRASHES everytime i try and change the settings
TimmyBoom: Hmmm. How.... microsoft.
SaintLukas: yeah
TimmyBoom: Bill Gates is such a bad antichrist. He'll never get everyone to love him with all those error messages.
SaintLukas: but the mouse, the $60 "laser" mouse, keeps hanging up...not responding...like the surface is too shiny or something
TimmyBoom: Hmmm. So it's an all around bust, then. Cool.
SaintLukas: yeah i've got a mess of work thats due monday, and i totally lack motivation, because everything i do is uncomfortable, and causes my hands to sieze up in CTS fits
TimmyBoom: That bad? Are you going to be a surgery candidate?
SaintLukas: i hope not
SaintLukas: i'm gonna try the old trackball again, just in case it got miraculously healed, stand by
SaintLukas: holy cow! it lives!
TimmyBoom: Hah.
SaintLukas: i tried 3 times yesterday, cleaning, plugging it back in, reinstalling, but the horizontal axis was busted
TimmyBoom: It's a miiiiracle.
SaintLukas: this changes everything
TimmyBoom: If life was a musical, I bet you'd be doing a little number right about now, eh?
SaintLukas: now to reinstall its software, that microsoft uninstalled for its own TB
SaintLukas: absolutely
SaintLukas: kids, christmas is back on!
TimmyBoom: Hah. Yaaaaay!
SaintLukas: now what am i gonna do with the $100 worth of crap i bought yesterday?
SaintLukas: i guess i'll give them to co-workers when they need spares, which is frequently
TimmyBoom: And look like a hero.
